She must return to the place that twice brought her shame. She’ll have one final chance to save someone else. Tennessee, 1982. Wildflower McAllister thought she’d put the past behind her. But when she learns her mother is dying, she digs deep and returns to the small mountain town that stole her innocence and cast her out. And she has no choice but to pull her thirteen-year-old granddaughter Daisy right back into the ghosts of her painful history.

The voices of the characters, both alive and those who have passed, resonate with a haunting quality. We are easily brought back into the previous books in a manner that is not repetitious but continuing in life’s flow. The beauty of the mountains is painted in words that explode in sensory images. The change in characters from chapter to chapter offers unique and individual perspectives that are rich in voice and thought. It is amazing how an old, or new in the case for Daisy, place can conjure up memories within the reader’s mind of places left long ago. Coming from a similar church background as the McCallister’s, I nearly came undone with the choice of song by Lilly, “I’ll Fly Away Ole Glory.” What a tribute to the matriarch of the family. This is a book that draws the reader in until the last word is read.
